I know that the flame has burned out,
The Love Has Left Your Eyes
All that remains for me are the memories,
And these tears I cry
But baby, can you understand,
How hard it is for me to face the end?
Please, just for tonight, pretend
I'm movin' down the highway,
Come morning light
I won't be turning back, you'll be free at last,
I've given up my fight
But baby, there's a whole lot of darkness standin',
Between now and then
Please, just for tonight, pretend,
Please, pretend:
One last tender kiss,
Please don't leave me,
Hangin' on the jagged edge like this
Suffer me one more illusion,
Indulge this obsessive need
I'm a prideful man,
Doin' the best I can,
With what's left of me
I ain't looking for your pity, baby,
Just strength to live again
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Please, pretend:
One last tender kiss,
Please don't leave me,
Hangin' on the jagged edge like this
Suffer me one more illusion,
Indulge this obsessive need
I'm a prideful man,
Doin' the best I can,
With what's left of me
I ain't looking for your pity, baby,
Just strength to live again
Please, just for tonight, pretend,
Please, just for tonight, pretend,
Please, just for tonight, pretend
Pretend,
Pretend,
Pretend
